I was blessed to be born with a mom and a dad.
But when I was younger i didn’t realize the wealth that I had.
I complained a lot, just like every kid,
But so many of my peers didn’t get what I did.

It’s different kinda peace when your blessed with two parents
So many studies show, that the child gets the advantage.
A nurturer and disciplinarian where sometimes the roles are reversed
Yields a well balanced child, who’d most likely stay the course

Im at an age, where I think about this a lot.
For my children’s future it’s best to tie the knot.
But marrying just anyone, can really stir the pot.
Hoping for a fairy tale, but you may not be happy with the plot

If I brought a child in this world, I think that would’ve been selfish.
Their childhood wouldn’t be easy, and their love of life might perish
The challenges of life, may jade them from the beginning
because no child is born with an adult’s understanding.

But life isn’t forever, only getting older
Impatience is setting in, questioning divine order
So I’m looking towards my guiding light, hoping for some direction
Overly discerning that I make the right selection.
